Shark Dive Gear

Shark Dive Gear builds lights for divers who spend real time in the dark: wrecks, caves and UK inland sites where the beam is the dive. This collection holds the full Artemis lighting system, with primary, sidemount and handheld heads, canister and handheld batteries, and the matching charger. Alongside it sit the Pulsar strobe and the Hammerhead frameless mask.

Because the batteries and the charger are stocked separately here, the system stays serviceable long after the first purchase.

What Shark Dive Gear makes

Shark Dive Gear is a lighting brand first. The core of this collection is the Artemis system: three light heads at 6000 lumens each, two battery packs, and one charger that serves them both. Around that sit two supporting pieces, the Pulsar strobe and the Hammerhead frameless mask.

It is a short range, and the parts are built to be bought together and kept running rather than replaced piecemeal. That is the reason to look at it as a system instead of a shelf of unrelated torches.

Choosing between the Artemis lights

All three Artemis heads give the same 6000 lumens and the same three output levels of 20%, 50% and 100%, with a magnetic on/off switch that works in gloves and a Goodman handle for hands-free use. What separates them is how they carry power and how they route on your rig.

Shark Artemis Primary Light

The canister light. A 0.5kg head in the hand, a 1kg 95Wh battery on the harness, and up to 360 minutes in normal mode or over 10 hours on low output. The 55mm reflector throws a wide beam, which is what you want when you are lighting a whole site rather than picking out detail. This is the one aspiring technical divers usually land on.

Shark Artemis Sidemount Light

The same head and the same 95Wh canister, with one change that matters: a 90-degree cable, 120cm long, so it runs along a sidemount rig instead of fighting it. If you dive sidemount, this is the version to take.

Shark Artemis Handheld light

No canister and no cable. The 48.6Wh battery lives in the body, giving 180 minutes in operational mode and over 600 minutes on low. It is 0.8kg on land and 17cm long, with a wider 65mm reflector. For travel, for single-tank recreational diving, and for anyone who does not want a battery on the harness, this is the simpler answer.

Batteries, charging and keeping the system running

Two packs cover the range. The Shark Artemis HH battery is the 48.6Wh handheld pack, made up of three 21700 Li-Ion cells at 90mm long. The Shark Artemis Canister battery is 95Wh from twelve 18650 cells, 1kg and 150mm long, and it powers the Primary and Sidemount lights.

Both packs are supplied on their own, without a charger. The Shark Artemis charger is stocked separately for that reason. If you are building a second set for back-to-back dives, or carrying a spare on a liveaboard, add the charger to the order rather than assuming one arrives in the box.

The Pulsar strobe and the Hammerhead mask

Not everything here is a primary light. The Shark Pulsar strobe light is a marker: 3000 lumens pulsing in all directions, up to 6 hours in strobe mode, 3.5 hours as a constant light, and rated for dives to 150m. It comes with a nylon case, charger and wrist safety line. Divers use it to mark an ascent line on a wreck, or to hold a reference point when conditions turn.

The SHARK Hammerhead frameless mask is a single tempered glass lens bonded straight to a soft silicone skirt, with the buckles mounted on the skirt rather than a frame. Low volume makes it easy to clear, and losing the frame keeps it small in an already full bag. It is available in black.

Where this sits in the shop

This is a single-brand collection, so it is the place to come when you have already decided on Shark Dive Gear or you want the lights, batteries and charger to match. If you are still comparing lighting brands, start in our wider dive torches range instead, and look at technical diving for the harnesses and configuration kit these canister lights are designed to hang off.

Frequently asked questions

Which shark dive gear brands does Oyster Diving stock?

Just one: Shark Dive Gear. This is a single-brand collection, so everything in it is designed to work together. The Artemis light heads share the same battery and charger fittings, and the Pulsar strobe and Hammerhead frameless mask come from the same range. If you want to compare lighting brands side by side, use our wider dive torches collection instead.

What is the difference between the Shark Artemis Primary Light and the Shark Artemis Handheld light?

Both put out 6000 lumens and both come with a Goodman handle, so the beam and the grip are much the same. The difference is where the power sits. The Shark Artemis Primary Light runs from a separate canister battery, which gives up to 360 minutes in normal mode. The Shark Artemis Handheld light carries a 48.6Wh battery in the body and gives 180 minutes in operational mode, with no cable to route down your side. Take the canister if you dive long, the handheld if you travel light.

Which battery and charger do I need for my Artemis light?

The Shark Artemis HH battery is the handheld pack: 48.6Wh, built from 21700 Li-Ion cells. The Shark Artemis Canister battery is the 95Wh pack, built from 18650 cells, and it is what the Primary and Sidemount lights run on. Both are supplied without a charger, so if you are adding a spare battery on its own, add the Shark Artemis charger with it.

What is the Shark Pulsar strobe light for?

Marking, not lighting. The Pulsar is a personal signal tool that pulses 3000 lumens in all directions so it can be seen from a distance, which is how divers mark an ascent line on a wreck or leave a reference point in an overhead environment. It runs up to 6 hours in strobe mode and 3.5 hours as a constant light, is rated for dives to 150m, and comes with a nylon case, charger and wrist safety line. Treat it as a companion to a primary light rather than a replacement for one.

What makes the SHARK Hammerhead a frameless mask?

The lens is bonded straight onto the silicone skirt instead of being clamped into a plastic frame. That takes out bulk and weight, keeps the internal volume low so the mask is easier to clear, and lets the buckles mount directly on the skirt so the strap flexes with your face rather than against it. It uses a single tempered glass lens, so the view is wide and unbroken, and it packs down small, which matters when you are already travelling with lights and batteries.
